Martinis is one of my favorite places to go eat. With family and friends. But also just for a date night! The food is always fantastic! Service staff is always very friendly and helpful with the new ordering process.
We had a group of 16 people which they accommodated nicely upstairs. Drinks arrived shortly after ordering them. Delicious and accurate food came out in a timely manner. Great place to have some good food with a big group.
Stopped by to have lunch on the patio, and enjoyed a Slice and Antipasto Salad Combo. Both were great, but really liked the crisp pizza crust and homemade sauce. Perfect lunch. Thanks Martini's!
Martinis has a nice vibe. The drinks are good and the service was too. There are limited options for vegans. The live music was a bonus. I would visit again, as a vegan I would eat first.
I've been putting off reviewing places that I've frequented 100's (at least) times over the past few decades. Mostly because it is a given that I love going to these establishments and will continue to do so. Their food is BEYOND delicious and the whole atmosphere is always a fun experience. I usually order their classica chicken salad as it is the VERY BEST salad in all of Kalamazoo.
Have you ever had a dinner so delicious that you wonder if you imagined the entire experience? I was visiting Kalamazoo and I wanted a nice meal from a non-chain restaurant and decided to stop by. The Google reviews were better than here but I could tell by the photos of this place that it had a lot of charm. I was sold. I sat at the bar and EVERY single one of the ladies greeted me, waited on me, and honestly took the best care of me. What I also noticed, were key personnel in the restaurant, even when they step behind the bar to grab something, if they made eye contact with me, they smiled, nodded their head and spoke. I decided on the lasagna and salad. I had the bartender pick up Cabernet for me. My lasagna came I was starved, and when I took my first bite into it, I paused; I stared at the bartender who was awaiting my response and I asked her one question"is this real?" the wine she paired my meal with complemented the lasagna perfectly. Their food was so damn delicious,It didn't even make sense. The garlic bread was infused with garlic beyond what I'm used to. What I mean to say is that I can cook with copious amounts of garlic so for me to think that something is garlicky, takes a lot. They did it, but it was absolutely delicious. The lasagna in addition to being delicious is put on a plate and has sauce all around it and is the most spectacular thing. The only thing that could've made that meal better is if there weren't other people around to watch me obliterate my meal. I was so impressed that I got an order to go . I added the minestrone soup instead of salad this time because I had a sneaking suspicion that it was probably as delicious as everything else I ate. I'm home now, and I just ate that soup, and put a little bit of fresh Parmesan cheese on top of it, and heated the garlic bread in the oven, and I am completely blown away. my lasagna is in the freezer and I'm going to have it next weekend as beef short ribs are on the menu for tonight and since I want to still be able to fit my clothes, I had to decide which I was going to eat. I don't live in the area, but I will be more than happy to drive to this restaurant from the metro Detroit area after having fasted all day so that I can enjoy every single bite of that lasagna. I wasn't a big fan of the pizza, which I tried before I left, yes, I was being greedy. But I'm guessing the rest of the food if it stacks up to the lasagna is the best you'll ever have. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience.
Love that my friend Jose introduced this place to me, it has what looks to be a well-stocked bar and a lovely cafe feel with inside and outside seating. The staff was prompt and attentive, the lunch menu was explained and quickly, some items are not available at lunch. My egg and pepper sandwich remind \ed me of my last visit to Italy. I will be back for more, the pizza looked very tasty.
One of the better Italian spots in Kzoo that I somehow had never been to until this week. We sat out on the patio, which was a lovely experience although it can be a little loud being right off westnedge. The service is a little different; they seat you like a normal restaurant but then tell you to order from the bar. Then they bring the food and drinks out that you ordered. We got the house salad, the garlic bread, and a pizza. Everything was delicious. The crust is my favorite part, so I can't wait to go back and try the focaccia. The patio is cool but there is a cool bar inside too, all around a great spot.
